Melbourne's Laneways
Written by ROD C, Australia, February 2011
Comment from ROD C
Melbourne is often thought of as Australia's second city, and there's certainly a rivalry with its more glamorous northern sister, Sydney. But Melbourne is recognised as having a superior "city-life" with fabulous cafes, restaurants, galleries and street art literally around every corner. One thing that makes that possible is Melbourne's layout, a grid of major streets between which dozens of laneways criss-cross the city. These laneways are home to the best shops, bars and graffiti... you can grab a map and walk them yourself, or take the "Melbourne Lanes and Arcades" tour, either way you'll enjoy a unique city experience.
